The #TakeOver is Real

Our International Day of the Girl celebration is right around the corner. On October 7, join us for #ChicagoGirlsTakeOver! We will be honoring an elite group of people who are working hard to create change in their communities. All funds raised through our fundraiser will be used to support girls at our program sites in Chicago, Indiana, Texas, and at Duke University.

And let’s not forget who this night is all about…the girls! Polished Pebbles truly would be nothing without the girls and young women who attend our programming. At our VIP Reception, you will have the opportunity to network with our pebbles and learn how Polished Pebbles has impacted their academics, career aspirations, and daily lives!

We truly have a community supporting us, and we hope you will join us as we celebrate girls in Chicago and around the world!

KellyFairTheMentor serves as a thought space for a Chicago-based urban youth mentoring practitioner, Kelly Fair. Kelly and the Polished Pebbles Girls Mentoring Program team, volunteers, partners, and of course our girls and families will share their unique experiences and lessons that they've encountered since the program was founded in 2009. This blog serves as a platform to inspire the entire "mentoring community" including those who are considering becoming a mentor, as well as current practitioners seeking to enhance their work.
